The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

September/October 2012 Lite Challenge: Le Village de Haute-Savoie

Finally have some free time on my hands and nothing on my plate this week. Therefore I am going to enter in the Lite Challenge, always a good place to start back up. This is a fictional rendition of a small French village located in the mountainous region of south eastern France. La Prieuré de Sion have secreted the Holy-Grail within the natural caverns located bellow the town set during the First Crusade. Got all my basic line work down pack need to get to the nitty gritty and flesh this place out now. Hope you enjoy!
